My grandmom makes this quite often and I couldn't read the writing on the recipe card she gave me. I came looking for it here and it's the same recipe! This is a classic around the house and very light and delicious. It's also great with a few strawberries thrown on top.

This was a good dessert but nothing incredible or different. It didn't really have a WOW factor. At first I was alarmed at the crust rising and "puffing" up, but when it cooled it was perfect!I agree with one reviewer who said you couldn't taste the cream cheese. I am not big on making things from a box. I may try homemade vanilla pudding and chocolate sauce if I make this again. The pudding was a little overwhelming.

I made this for a church get together and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. It's a great dessert because there really isn't anything like it. I will definitely make this again and again!! Oh, I did add the chocolate frosting on the bottom (on top of the puff before the filling) from the Eclair recipe on this site, as other reviewers stated. I thought that it was just right. Yummy recipe!!!

Great recipe...I was in a hurry to make something for a girls night out and this was perfect. The only thing different was having to add an extra minute or two to the baking time.

I was so tired of plain old cake and frosting that I decided to make this for our daughter's birthday cake. One bite and my husband and other daughter both said 'I want this for my birthday!'. No kidding, it was that good. I put a layer of Magic Shell on the crust then put it in the freezer so the chocolate could harden, then put the filling on. The chocolate kept the filling off the crust. Mine did not stick or get soggy. I also put magic shell on the top and chocolate bar shavings. Thank you so much Nancy! I know I'll be making this one again and again. Especially when we want a cool summer dessert!

I love this recipe. The only variation I made was to heat a few blocks of baking chocolate, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla on the stove and pour that over the puff part before the cream cheese filling goes over it. I highly recommend this recipe!

This was good but not good enough to make again (so many other recipes to try). I made two packets of Dream Whip instead of Cool Whip because I just like it better. I was a little disappointed I couldn't taste the cream cheese and I used one cream cheese flavored Jell-o (even though I know there's no cream cheese in cream puffs).

Instead of chocolate syrup(which isn't very much like chocloate at all) try this: Buy a product called Nutella. It's a chocolate-hazelnut spread, very good! If you can't find it at your supermarket, try an italian speciality store/deli. Combine the Nutella and whipping cream in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warm. Stir the mixture. Drizzle the chocolate-hazelnut sauce atop the cake. 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella) 1/4 cup whipping cream (or make more depending how much you want/need)

This cake was very tasty. The only changes I made was the use of cheesecake-flavored pudding instead of vanilla, and the addition of the Eclair chocolate per other reviewers' suggestions. The reason I gave it four stars was I found it a bit difficult to remove from the pan, and shortly after making it, the bottom was somewhat soggy.

Yum, yum, YUM!!! I am making tomorrow (4th time!), and will try chocolate pudding mix in the filling topped with Cool Whip. I've found that we don't care too much for the chocolate syrup. The cream cheese adds a great richness!

This is incredibly good, I have friends beg me to make it! The only thing I do differently from the recipe is to put a layer of chocolate icing underneath the pudding mixture to make it taste just like an eclair. I use the icing from the recipe on this site called "Eclairs II" submitted by Patty. With the addition of chocolate, this dessert is irresistible! I also take the Hershey's Syrup and drizzle it in lines over the top of the Cool Whip and run a knife tip accross to make a pattern, which comes out very pretty. The chocolate *REALLY* makes this dessert. Hints I would offer are, try and spread the dough mixture as evenly as possible in the pan before baking but don't get upset if it puffs all over the place and looks unshapely. Just give the big bubbles a squash as you assemble. The cream cheese and milk don't like to blend smoothly, start with a little liquid at a time to encourage the lumps to go. I've never had it seem lumpy in the end, even when I wasn't able to get it totally smooth. If you are really feeling decadent, try using half and half instead of milk with the pudding. I never have leftovers of this!

Talk about simple and easy. I followed other reviewers suggestions and made two 8x8 pans and baked for 20 minutes. I also used a dark chocolate frosting that I heated slightly in the microwave as the first layer. I think it really needed the extra. I used French vanilla pudding and Hershey's syrup to finish it off. The cake was a huge hit and tastes just like a cream puff. It was fun and easy and I will keep in mind for the next time I need a desert.

This was great. I made A LOT of changes though. The bottom crust remained the same. For the filling I added 2 packages of cream cheese, vanilla and 2 small boxes of vanilla pudding with 3 cups of milk. Before adding the filling to the crust I made the chocolate glaze from the Eclairs II recipe. Finally, I did not add the cool whip at all, but served a dallop on individual servings (for those who wanted it). Everyone came back for seconds!!
